We have been custom building a new house now for almost a year and we get the keys May 30th! While I am super stoked to move, I am not looking forward to moving 10 pins, 8 arcades and multiple other game room things... framed jerseys, glass cabinets, Mars attacks alien, life sized raptor, etc.

I've got 3 friends to help and a huge truck with an electric lift gate.

Any advise on how to make this go smoother?

Which ones do you want Will? lol

Was quoted $3500-4000. I'm not cool with that.

I would much rather pay someone but not at that price.

Thankfully, two are personal trainers and the other works out daily. I kinda lucked out with these guys... one offered for free beer and pizza, the other 2 I'm paying. They are certainly capable of lifting/moving.

Thanks for the tips..

I had a guy, several people have used him. He usually charges $150 per pin. House to house move. So I asked him for a quote and he said $3500 probably more, not sure how that makes any sense but he is a dick for sure.

Thanks Captain Obvious.

Thanks for the tips guy's. I'll make sure to have everything wrapped up and ready to go before hand. Unfortunately, I have 2 flights of stairs at both houses.

I'd prefer to pay someone, drink beer and watch as everyone suggests but alas I don't think that's going to happen.

Lol, not sure 100 beers would "help"

2 90 degrees coming out, 2 90 degrees going in. I cant wait.

Of coarse it was number one on my list but a walkout required a different lot, which was $80k+ more. i elected to use that money on a 3 car garage and finishing the basement, including a bar and such. The games may go at some point, the value of my other options wont.

I do, thanks! The house is going to be amazing, once the games find a way in!

Edit: Got a little of topic and don't want it going there..

I've asked for a few more quotes now, hopefully its more reasonable.

Thanks Jeff.

Take the legs off for sure!

I contacted 4 companies yesterday, 2 said no way, I'll pass. 1 said no, then maybe, then texted me at 2 am some bullshit... He also sent me pictures of his dog, a selfie with his hat on sideways and road signs as he was driving... seems very professional, lol. The last, 2 men with a truck, waiting on. Hopefully that goes better.

Just quoted $2100 plus tax. From 2 Men and a Truck. I'm going to jump on it and drink beer while watching.

A bit late update. I did hire Two Men and a Truck. I wrapped all the games myself, although they said they would do it. Every pin arrived in 100% shape, only damage was minor on my NBA Jam and a broken glass door on a display cabinet. They did mark up the walls a bit in the new house but refunded me $350 to fix it. All in all, I'm happy I used them, the guys were really great and it saved my back and/or another surgery. Total cost was about $2500 and then refund of $350 to move about 25 overweight items. For about $100 an item, well worth it.
